Default paper hulls

gotta love 'em

nothing smells like a freshly fired paper hull

I wanted some low pressure short loads to go try the Pieper out.

so I trimmed some once fired Federal papers down to 2 1/2, and they roll crimped so much nicer than the plastic. I use one of the antique cast iron crank handled crimpers - does a nice job

on the left - freshly trimmed hull
center - roll crimped
right - fired roll crimped hull ( loaded them a second time after I got back and they still rolled great)
